After being elected you don’t take office the next day, there’s a transition period where people who have experience join up because it’s a guaranteed salary.
For executive positions typically the person leaving will also form a transition team to advise the incoming person of what is currently ongoing and what staff may be necessary to handle it. Obama did this for Trump, having an entire team dedicated to getting his staff up to speed.. unfortunately Trump did not reciprocate when Biden was elected.
